Striking design with 1.2 inch-thick panel ; reproduces deep black levels ; accurate color with superb saturation, properly handles 1080p/24 sources ; extensive feature set with Yahoo widgets, network streaming and built-in content ; solid connectivity ...
More expensive than thicker plasma HDTVs ; no S-Video inputs
With picture quality that matches its less-expensive brother but not the best of the stiff competition, the main appeal of the Samsung PNB850/860 series is based on its sleek, ultrathin panel.
Series note: We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 50-inch Samsung...

Samsung PN58B850 Review
Just saying that Samsung PN58B850 is a top of the line plasma TV may seem like an understatement, if one just throws a single look at it. With its 1.2 inch depth in frame, that makes it look elegantly thin from the side, this series from Samsung is ...
Good black levels ; Very accurate colors ; Very good video processing ; Solid standard definition processing
No S-video input ; Relatively expensive because it is slim ; Anti-glare performance is good but other models are better

Beautiful TV - both the picture and the unit itself. I would recommend this to anyone
The built in speakers are weak, but I'm not concerned since we will be using an external audio setup for movies and other demanding sources
"The buzzing overshadows the good in this tv"

Picture clarity, color, very thin, easy network setup
The buzzing is unbearable
"Sleek design (1.2"). Stunning plasma picture!"
Outstanding plasma screen at only 1.2 inches....
Screen thickness 1.2". Excellent picture quality. 1080p/24. 4 HDMI ports. Pixel response 0.001 = no pixelating for sports/fast action movies. Digital (optical) audio output for speaker connection. Network and multi-media internet access
Don't anticipate any issues however, would like to see 2 year warranty in lieu of standard 1 year. Built in speakers at 15W are ok, thus a .5 star deduction. No buzzing noted as noted with other reviews
